Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install. I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run. The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it. None of the default options for Brother printers came close. The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things: Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs. Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page. The printer never comes out of deep sleep. How do I fix this? It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did. In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to installing a printer on Linux: Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort. I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts. BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards

Improper shutdown, now Kernel panic.
by murph nj 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hi all: I've got an odd problem that I was hoping for some help on. The laptop was previously working fine, I am running F30, updated regularly. I've got an Acer laptop that has been shutting down suddenly. (I suspect a bad battery, working on that.) After a sudden shutdown last night, I now get a kernel panic on boot right after "Starting Switch Root..." I was able to boot from a USB stick, and was able to read the journal, but I didn't see anything obvious to help. I was able to get all of my data off of the (encrypted) disks, so that's not a problem, but I don't want to just give up, and wash and reload too quickly. Any suggestions? Thanks, --murph

Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods 16 May '21

16 May '21

It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago) since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK). This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel, but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest). I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this: root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34 print target ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(target)? make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2 Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility. Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver. Thank you, --Greg

puzzling SELinux alert.
by home user 13 May '21

13 May '21

At least 3 times in the past few days I've seen the same SELinux alert. I put the text of the details in the attached file "alerts.txt". All 3 occurrences were while using caja to rename or delete a file, though it does not happen every time I rename or delete a file in caja. These alerts confuse me. There is no directory "/memdf:"... -bash.1[~]: cd / -bash.2[/]: ls -a . boot etc lib64 mnt root srv system-upgrade usr .. .cache home lost+found opt run sys system-upgrade-root var bin dev lib media proc sbin sysroot tmp -bash.3[/]: ls -a /memfd* ls: cannot access '/memfd*': No such file or directory -bash.4[/]: Also, the directory name (ending with a colon?) looks fishy. Further, the filename ".nvidia_drv.XXXXXX" looks fishy (but "legal"). The instruction does not work: -bash.4[/]: /sbin/restorecon -v /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX (deleted) -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' -bash.4[/]: -bash.5[/]: /sbin/restorecon -v /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX /sbin/restorecon: SELinux: Could not get canonical path for /memfd:/.nvidia_drv.XXXXXX restorecon: No such file or directory. -bash.6[/]: I gather that a directory and or file (whatever its name really is) are missing? How do I fix this?

System Failure?
by home user 11 May '21

11 May '21

I did my weekly patches (dnf upgrade), rebooted, and logged in as a regular user. A problem popped-up. The top part of the details is below. I'm not (yet) seeing any other problems. Is this a false alarm? If not, what should I do? --------------- not-reportable The backtrace does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be reported. It is annoying but it does not necessarily signalize a problem with your computer. ABRT will not allow you to create a report in a bug tracking system but you can contact kernel maintainers via e-mail. reason traps: fwupd[130814] general protection fault ip:7f6c8fea2122 sp:7fffe5746b60 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8[7f6c8fe80000+8b000] backtrace traps: fwupd[130814] general protection fault ip:7f6c8fea2122 sp:7fffe5746b60 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8[7f6c8fe80000+8b000] cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos3)/vmlinuz-5.11.15-200.fc33.x86_64 root=UUID=45e553d2-fa0c-4eae-95f6-7bf9086ab74c ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:on modprobe.blacklist=nouveau package kernel-core-5.11.15-200.fc33 component kernel hostname coyote count 1 first occurence 2021-04-22 11:03:20 last occurence 2021-04-22 11:03:20 user unknown user type/analyzer Kerneloops/abrt-oops pkg-fingerprint 49FD 7749 9570 FF31 kernel 5.11.15-200.fc33.x86_64 pkg_vendor Fedora Project runlevel N 5 os_release Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three) duphash 913d3ca671c62c4a2304f3f1ea8bded67351e0c0 uuid 913d3ca671c62c4a2304f3f1ea8bded67351e0c0 architecture x86_64 abrt_version 2.14.5 data directory /var/spool/abrt/oops-2021-04-22-11:03:20-875-0

Restored f33 on new drive from a tarball now a problem
by Robert McBroom 11 May '21

11 May '21

New drive has the same msdos partition structure as the old. Legacy system with boot partition on a separate drive and from the root partition. System boots in mode 3 as specified but entering id and password flashes some text and returns to the login. Edited the grub entry to try a graphical boot but still get textmode. What can be done to get access to f33?
